Burnout & Stress

When You’ve Been Strong for Too Long

Burnout & Stress Recovery

Burnout happens slowly—long days, silent expectations, emotional labor, constant responsibility, and the pressure to keep going even when you’re running on empty. You become so accustomed to functioning through exhaustion that you barely notice how depleted you’ve become.

Burnout can show up as:

  • emotional exhaustion or numbness

  • irritability, frustration, or detachment

  • brain fog or trouble concentrating

  • increasing anxiety

  • feeling unlike yourself

  • loss of motivation or joy

  • emotional eating when overwhelmed

  • dread about work or daily tasks

Many people don’t realize they’re burned out until their body forces them to slow down.

If your mind is tired and your body feels heavier than it should, you’re not failing—you’re overloaded.

Why Burnout Happens

You’ve likely spent years being the reliable one: the person others lean on, the person who doesn’t drop the ball, the person who keeps going no matter what. But being capable doesn’t mean you’re immune to emotional depletion.

My own lived experience—push, strain, perfectionism, and rebuilding—allows me to meet you with compassion, not judgment. You don’t have to work harder to feel better. You need a different way of supporting yourself.
